While the Mark IV Series is still a desirable product series on the greater automated industrial figurative marketplace, it must be designated as obsolete overall, as it is truthfully a legacy GE Mark product series whose original manufacture was discontinued due to a retailer-spotted series-wide functional obsolescence in one of the many year past its initial rollout.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS3800XTFT is a small and long rectangular board with only a few mounted components. The board is marked on two sides to help with alignment and is drilled in several places along its edges. Codes along the board edges identify the board and will also provide information regarding location and proper wiring connections. Board components are limited to a single vertical pin connector, two jumper switches, and eight plug connectors. The plug connectors are located in two lines of four and are equidistant from each other along the board’s surface. This DS3800XTFT device's aforementioned factory-drilled holes have most likely been employed to aid in DS3800XTFT Board's installation, as this DS3800XTFT product offering has not been supplied with any sort of standard Mark IV Series VME Rack installation-minded metal faceplate. The outside edges of this DS3800XTFT Mark IV Series product are considered relatively fragile, as they are relatively component-bare when compared to other similar Mark IV Series products.
